Introduction

Growth Figures

[edit]

The Meta project retains a full history of all article revisions. For each update is recorded who made it, and when, and what had been changed. This makes it possible to collect a wealth of statistical data, and allows plotting of historical trends.

21 Oct 2007: Table data derived from wikistats output will be added soon.
